That sounds interesting! haha... do they put blinders on the pilots!? I guess for an american airport ORD provides a decent cross section of things to do with some decent (maybe) places... lga is awful with everything before security... SEA is improving little by little, the United terminal at SFO is also decent. For north american airports i am somewhat partial to YVR, it has lot's of interesting food choices and some good shopping and is nice to look at in general (more so internation/USA terminal than domestic!) and the new terminal 1 at YYZ is great too! Lots of good shops that arent really overpriced and the AC MLL is a great place to relax if you are *A Gold! Anyways that is my two cents!

Happy Holidays and Happy Travels!
